I tion of the condo& of his Good Ally.; for the Frenol Troops have recently advanced in great ttunthers to the:Banks of the 'Vistula ; in defiance of the stipulations of the Treaty of Tilsit. Tits chief Opposition Priut observes, that " it is 'one of the advantages of our frame Of Government, that its AZ's never attach to the Sovereign, but be long exclusively to the Ministers for the time being, and, it is at all times easy for an Administratip to make atcuiOnie!it for the delinquencies of a Prede tesior." To the first of those. observation's we heartily subscribe, and the people in 'general will cordially agree with us, that none of the absurdities and rnisc:siefs of All the Talents are to be imputed to that wise 14Ionarch' who very . koperly dismissed them when .he found that, besides ali:nating our Allies by their negligeuee,, they were hazarding the CunitaittiOn by their speculative folly. But we ditier si much wiih them as to the latter observatibui as we *gee with them in the termer, for it is by uo means act et sY Mateer for " an Admini"nion to make atone ment for the delinquencies of a predecessor." The ANbER and BIJONAPANTE, AS well as to the subse- quint attack 'ppot Sweden, and all other evil come. Tut/ices, 19r which all the wisdom, and all the well-di. recled energy 9 t t heiesuccessoN will find it very diffi cult " to make atonement" to those nations which have already suffered and those which may hurcifter puffer from the oppressions of France. We say nothihg At pres e nt of the immediate cause of the removal of " An the Talents," because the good sense of those fo r whom they so.officiously interfered has not, ren, dered it neces , arr for, their successors " to make atonement" for their temerity and folly. , for the present, big his purrosewill 00 be shin. duped... On the other hand, if the accAnts from th,!: Continent may he depended upon, there are strong reasons why 'Ai_istria should seize the preLent Opportunity to secure her independence, and to ward.olf the clinger with which she is threaeened... the forces of BOONAPARTZ and now scattered from the shores or the Baltic to those of the Adi - latic--ix from the confines of Russia to the coasts: of din and Portugal ; and though they occupy Countries nominally friendly to France, yet such have been the oppression which .they have pratlisecl, and atro cities which they have committed, that we hive no doubt that the population of these Countries would readily rise against their Tyrants, if any opportunity tftfered which afforded a probability of resisting with. success. The unfortunate infatuation of the Eg. PEROR of RussiA, is, under such circumstances,. doubly to be lamented ; but we shoUld think that f. the. Condo& of BttogArAittx to the ICING of SPAIN must ALE:WIDER, not only of the imp°. licy, but of the danger, of his- present system.

This lie had sown on ,Ins return to New Zealand, and was grati fied by the prospect of an excellent return. Unfor tunately, however, a horde of his discontented sub jests fell upon his little corn-field when the cob had about three parts filled, and in one night devoured every grain. Opposing petteverance to this first mis chance, he applied his whole reserved sleek to the designs of agriculture, and had 'succeeded to his wish. He had previouly planted a single potatoe he had received at N'ew South Wales, in a secret place, and had succeeded in rearing a succession of crops, until he obtained such an increase of this useful ar ticle, as rendered him able to supply his subiteS With a sufficient quantity for seed.
